UPDATE below

I enjoyed sharing my know-how with about 20 editors at a journalism conference.
I shared with them my experience of using my iPhone as a reporting tool, using it get video for video stories and audio for slideshows and story telling. Please read more about the experience at my Tumblr: andrewcnelson.tumblr.com.

UPDATE:

It was great to get this email a few days later:

Andrew,

I hope all is going well in Atlanta. I wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to finally take baby steps to more interactive features on our website.

My first venture was a photo slideshow with Animoto. It is embed in this story.

My presentation:

I covered an immigration rally at the Georgia Statehouse the other day. Since my newspaper won’t go to print for another week, I wanted to  publish a ‘teaser’ for our web readers, but still keep the story fresh for the print edition a week later.

I came up with two ways that were immediate.

• Photos of the rally. This was easy.  I had my camera phone and took crowd pictures.  They show the large size of the protesters, along with signs. Instead of waiting a week for the paper, I posted them online as they appeared in other local media.
• Video. I also captured video of a prominent speaker at the rally.  This video  added some depth to the web site about the issue as one side sees it..

Here’s the link to see how it came out.

I saved comments and insights from people attending the rally for the print paper. This give readers additional information and adds value to the paper instead of just repeating the web story.
